Combat
Player vs Player
Crystaria has two PvP arenas: open-world duels against players standing on your tile, and the Echo Arena, a seasonal ranked ladder fought against stat-perfect echoes of real characters. (The hourly Colosseum tournament is its own event.)
Open-World Duels
- Players on your tile appear in the Players panel. Attacking is opt-in — you choose to engage.
- You cannot attack a player more than 25 levels below you, and guest accounts cannot PvP at all.
- Duels use your full kit: Attack, Cast, Weapon Artes and Abilities — and a Tamer's pet strikes alongside them.
- Flee is available in PvP (it doesn't exist against monsters) — a duel going wrong can be escaped.
Stakes
| Outcome | What happens |
|---|---|
| Winner | Takes 10% of the loser's carried gold (banked gold is always safe). An attacking winner also earns +1 Valor. |
| Loser | Drops to 0 HP — defeated — and must Resurrect before acting again. |
Kills and successful defences are announced in world chat, and a PvP kill credits your guild's monthly influence tally (+10).
Valor
Valor is earned only through PvP and has no cap. Every point adds +0.01% to all six stats — a slow-burning permanent edge. Death Knights and Necromancers convert their Valor's power into extra STR and INT respectively.
Two level-100 quests reward the duellist: Trial by Blood and The Ashen
Rite each ask for 5 PvP kills.
The Echo Arena
- Found under Endgame → Echo Arena. You fight echoes — snapshots of real players' builds — so a ranked match is always available, no waiting for anyone to be online.
- Wins and losses move your Arena Rating on an Elo ladder (K=24), with seasonal resets and a public ladder.
- Your own echo fights for you in other players' matches — keep your gear sharp even when you log off.
